If modern civilization has lost sight of the goal that all ancient cultures held steadily before their eyes -- a religious goal -- how is man to recover the sense of the absolute and the unconditioned to which he can commit himself? Only through a meeting of East and West, the author says. A new structure must be found, and it must necessarily be universal, since we now irrevocably belong to one world. Only with a meeting of the old religions can a new adequate religious approach be found. Bede Griffiths provides an exposition in detail of his views on the contemplative, ecumenical and non violent approach to life which, while remaining “totally Christian,” has much to learn from India.
